The Compaticard I has some device driver software bundled with it that might be all you need. If you have an oddball format, their Uniform programs can translate over 300 disk formats including a number of 8" formats. Uniform also works with the Maynard FDC-8 floppy disk controller, which is probably no longer available. -- Mike Berger Internet berger@atropa.stat.uiuc.edu
